2nd gear burnout in the box

Read on css.net that in order to heat tires enough for drag strip, we need to do a 2nd gear burnout with e-brake engaged of course. Anyone ever done this with their HHR?

I have done it you well have to keep the rpms high when you release the clutch but it's help so you not hitting the limiter during the burnout.

Bkm, for the auto, turn traction off and snatch the e brake. If you leave traction on it will bog really quick. You may also find better overall times with traction off.
